Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Boil a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Sauté 6 to 8 garlic cloves for about 2 minutes.
  3. Increase heat to medium and add 2 pints of cherry tomatoes, cooking for 10-12 minutes until jammy.
  4. Stir in red pepper flakes, kosher salt, and black pepper. Reduce heat and add 1/2 cup of heavy cream, mixing well.
  5. Cook 2 packages of gnocchi in boiling water until they float, about 2-3 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of cooking water.
  6. Combine drained gnocchi with sauce and reserved water, tossing to coat for about 2 minutes.
  7. Fold in 1/2 cup of basil and 2 balls of burrata. Serve immediately with additional basil.
